RubyForge: Mongrel: File Release Notes and Changelog

Notes:
Release Name: 0.991.0

Notes:
Unicorn is an HTTP server for Rack applications designed to only serve
fast clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections and take
advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels.  Slow clients should
only be served by placing a reverse proxy capable of fully buffering
both the the request and response in between Unicorn and slow clients.

* git://git.bogomips.org/unicorn.git

Changes:

The "working_directory" configuration parameter is now handled
before config.ru.  That means "unicorn" and "unicorn_rails" no
longer barfs when initially started outside of the configured
"working_directory" where a config.ru is required.  A huge
thanks to Pierre Baillet for catching this ugly UI inconsistency
before the big 1.0 release

Thanks to Hongli Lai, out-of-the-box Rails 3 (beta) support
should be improved for deployments lacking a config.ru

There are more new integration tests, cleanups and some
documentation improvements.

    examples/init: "upgrade" task waits for completion
    
    This makes the user (sysadmin in this case) more aware if the
    upgrade fails or doesn't work as intended.  This change could be
    more useful for Rainbows! with its long-running responses.

    my-tap-lib: fix race condition in verbose mode
    
    Don't try to redirect until we know our FIFO consumers are
    ready for us.  This only seems to happen with bash and not
    ksh...

    eval("...", TOPLEVEL_BINDING) is broken for us in Rubinius

    http: cleanups for latest Rubinius
    
    Rubinius now supports rb_str_set_len() and sets -fPIC.
    
    We shouldn't check for rb_str_modify() since link-time detection
    is broken under Rubinius and even 1.8.6 has rb_str_modify().

    respect "working_directory" wrt config.ru
    
    Since we added support for the "working_directory" parameter, it
    often became unclear where/when certain paths would be bound.
    
    There are some extremely nasty dependencies and ordering issues
    when doing this.  It's all pretty fragile, but works for now
    and we even have a full integration test to keep it working.
    
    I plan on cleaning this up 2.x.x to be less offensive to look
    at (Rainbows! and Zbatery are a bit tied to this at the moment).
    
    Thanks to Pierre Baillet for reporting this.

    unicorn_rails: use Kernel#warn instead of $stderr.puts
    
    shorter is better

    tests: set NO_PROXY when running tests
    
    It's a good idea to use a caching http_proxy to save bandwidth
    when isolating gems for different Ruby versions.

    Rakefile: isolate to rbx directory
    
    We haven't started using isolate with Rubinius, yet,
    but we may soon.

    isolate: don't run isolate in parallel
    
    ~/.gems is still shared, and we don't isolate
    *that* often enough to matter

    tests: add Rails 3 test for the missing config.ru case
    
    In case we have weird Rails 3 users who choose to ignore
    config.ru, we'll be ready.

    unicorn_rails: fix requires for Ruby 1.9.2
    
    Ruby 1.9.2 no longer includes "." in $LOAD_PATH, so we need to
    require using an explicit path.  This issue only affected Rails
    3 users who chose to run without the default config.ru, as the
    config.ru generated by Rails 3 will call File.expand_path
    in the same way.

    Fix unicorn_rails compatibility with the latest Rails 3 code
    
    This allows us to properly detect Rails 3 installations
    in cases where config.ru is not present.

     fixed static file serving,
     more flexible regexp for matching module ]

    Oops, but unicorn_rails appears to work well here
